Cisco Talos: Vulnerability Spotlight: Vulnerabilities in metal detector peripheral could allow attackers to manipulate security devices

Cisco Talos recently discovered multiple vulnerabilities in a device from Garrett Metal Detectors that could allow remote attackers to bypass authentication requirements, manipulate metal detector configurations, and even execute arbitrary code on the device.

Talos tested and confirmed that the Garrett Metal Detectors iC Module CMA, version 5.0, could be exploited by these vulnerabilities. Users should update to the latest version of the firmware as soon as possible.
